**milroyj** , did you miss **Reeder’s** apology to the OP for the hijack? Just wondering. ---

Every time I see a **JamesCarroll** post, I shudder that such a blithering idiot could share a name with [the James Carroll](http://www.houghtonmifflinbooks.com/catalog/authordetail.cfm?authorID=1380) who writes [so cogently for the Boston Globe](http://www.boston.com/news/globe/editorial_opinion/oped/articles/2003/09/02/facing_the_truth_about_iraq/). ---

Could we please go back to discussing what a fucktard our boy Jimmy is? Because he’s, you know, a real fucktard. ---

Yes, let us plumb the wretched depths of his fucktardness. I’ll bet he’s ugly and his momma dresses him funny, too! :eek: No. I’ll just stick with his displays of willful ignorance, one of which I already commented on. ---

Truly, **JamesCarroll** is a fucktard of the highest order, but the OP was a little unfair. Several of the quotes were actually jokes. Mind you they were stupid unfunny jokes, but not meant to be taken seriously. There is enough wrong with this half-wit that we don’t need to go misunderestimating things and giving him ammo for rebuttal. Speaking of nut sacks, **Reeder** , please shut up. I don’t mind so much when **milroyj** acts like an imbecile, but you represent my side and are making it look bad. ---

Yeah… at this point, one more brain-dead imbecile making the same dumb comments doesn’t make much of a difference. ---

> [@milroyj](#): > > And neither are **Brutus** or **Sam Stone** , but I guess if the SDMB hive-mind says they are… Oh, yeah. Cuz, like, **Reeder** represents what most of us think. I, for one, think **Reeder** is a good benchmark for what the average doper thinks. ---

It pains me to say this, but Brutus and Sam Stone are nothing like JamesCarroll. They can at least form a cognent argument, and often actually have a point. Our very own JC has none of those qualities. ---

Ehh…he’s just another in the likes of **Reeder** and **milroyj**. Take him with a grain of salt. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/jamescarroll-gives-doorknobs-a-bad-name/245475.md?page=2)
